I use VNC often, but not on my Server 2008 development machines, because one must pay for the enterprise license for vista-based operating systems and up - thus I tend to use Remote Desktop over VPN for win2k8+

Doesn't MS charge you extra beyond a certain number of Remote Desktop licenses per server? (They did in win2k3...)

@Kev: Yes, if you're going to use it as a terminal server (more than two concurrent connections), you'll need additional licenses. But VNC will anyway only let you connect to the console session, so it's of no use here. BTW, in my opinion it's of no use anyway.
